Apparently I should never submit anything with the words "girl gamer" elsewhere unless I want to attract sexist douchebags...

Aaah I knew I had been "brigaded", cute!

That logic is pretty horrific.

Which is your opinion, which is pretty horrific.

As if their opinion on what constitutes harassment is the only one valid one

Is if yours or anyone elses opinion matters either, the law matters.

Harassment is characteristically repetitive in nature.

"making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks." You are actually the only authority of what is unwanted sexual advances.

Which makes everything and nothing harassment, hence why we have laws and need a sort of way to classify things. Not to mention by that logic nothing is an unwanted sexual advance until it has been defined as such by the target. Meaning anything you say is ok until it's been checked of as not ok.

This is the horrific part. The concept that a guy's desires override the comfort of women.

Aaah straw man argument. That's not what it means. It means "a persons right to communicate" overrides "the insecurity by another person". Comfort is something you have a right to feel, at home.

Of course you are someone of a different gender having the audacity to expect to be treated with basic human decency as a human being while enjoying a hobby.

Again straw man argument. Being treated as a human being and disliking what someone says is not mutually exclusive. It's not like trash talking suddenly makes someone not a human being, but I love the bad logic you try to show.

Does he just think we are ignorant?

Well looking at your logic and whole post I'm swaying more to wards "I know you're ignorant".

Sexual Harassment is: the harassment (typically of a woman) in a workplace, or other professional or social situation, involving the making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks.

You already said that the person hearing the words is the only authority on what is unwanted sexual advances and until that authority has judged the advances they are not.

"For some reason." Meaning the systemic discrimination of women. That you perpetuate. That's not an actual justification for the behaviour.

No systemic discrimination, but I love how yet another person uses "systemic insert whatever I need to make seem important" to make their argument seem to have any merit. It's solid justification. When someone tries to piss off someone or annoy someone or hurt someone they tend to use whatever works.

Using a gendered slur to piss of a girl is not sexism or discrimination. Actually meaning what you're saying though would be.
